a tautonymous pseudonym
back in the 16th century, when it was all the rage for german and dutch authors to classicisize their names, the young upstart gheraerd gheraerd decided to style himself after both the latin and greek renderings of his dutch name. he called himself desiderius erasmus and went on to win two nobel prizes in both alchemy and seige warfare. his alchemy nobel was later stripped away after it was revealed that he was actually a vampire°.
